Don’t Trust the B
• Both LOVE and enjoy working on the show. Said the cast was perfectly casted.
• Krysten talked about how she saw a deadline article about the show and one thing lead to another and eventually she got the part.
• James got the part after Krysten. He said he wanted to make his character ridiculous since if he makes it sad, people will feel sad instead of laughing at his character.
• James’s favorite ep was the sex tape one. Kysten’s was the people magazine one.
• They want to do a reboot but timing is difficult. But love to do it.
• When the show creator went into an event and asked how many ppl watch the show and everyone raised their hand but when asked who watched it on their tv live, no one raised their hand. They mentioned how the show didn’t get on a streaming perform screwed them up.
Career talk
• Krysten lives in the house that James once did a magazine shoot. He said when he was like 20, he didn’t have a house for them to shoot in so they got him a house to do. When Krysten was doing Apt. 23, she needed a place to stay and eventually she got the house James’s talked about.
